4 Why should the name of our father be removed from his family because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father's brethren.
5 Moses brought their case before the Lord.
6 And the Lord said to Moses,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad are justified and speak correctly. You shall surely give them an inheritance among their father's brethren, and you shall cause their father's inheritance to pass to them.
8 And say to the Israelites, If a man dies and has no son, you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9 If he has no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brethren.
10 If he has no brethren, give his inheritance to his father's brethren.
